Despite this assumption, research has shown that cigars are at least as unsafe as cigarettes, and a new study from Penn State shows that some may even be worse. The idea that cigars are the safer choice cropped up due to the fact that you’re not really supposed to inhale them the way you do cigarettes....

Been to the market lately? It’s a dicey experience. Many shoppers are still browsing the aisles while not wearing masks, touching food and produce without gloves and then placing it back on the shelf. Who knows how many germs are living on those packages? And the lines—forget about it. People ignore social distancing in the grocery store, it seems. You can avoid the supermarket and get dinner delivered by ordering the 5-meal Value Pack from Omaha Steaks....

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. (50-0) had too much experience, proved too smart, and wore down a game Conor McGregor (0-1) to notch a 10th-round TKO victory at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Before a crowd of 14,623, the pair delivered a far more entertaining fight than many expected. Indeed, it was the UFC lightweight champion who took the initiative in the early rounds by outworking and out-landing a very hesitant Mayweather....

A shoestring adventure in unfamiliar waters in the name of freedom, exploration and staying stoked Words by Mike Misselwitz Photos by Zach Mahone The June heat bent the air rising off the rails as we pulled from the station at Grand Junction. Western Colorado’s vast Grand Mesa flashed between the adjacent boxcars creating optical illusions in the heat waves. We barreled out of Junc-town into the arid plateaus, passing oaks and hay bales, cows and an odd couple of fornicating goats, and then, the centerpiece—the mighty Colorado River—weaving through the high desert like the stitching of a well-worn quilt....

The stigma tied to talking to a therapist has had a stronghold in the mental health space for decades. Previous generations kept their marital problems to themselves. They internalized struggles and pushed aside unfavorable emotions. Family issues were kept within the confines of the home. No one talked about depression—let alone admitted to themselves they might be experiencing it. Even as society became more open-minded, therapy was still seen as something for the fairer sex....
